Ohlins and Whiteline questions
The grinding is discussed here. Post 4

This was suggested by my mechanic too, but I'm not loving it. Camber is at -2 degrees if I remember correctly, but I can check this weekend. The car is set at the levels/numbers Ohlins recommended out of the box, so not slammed. Plus that's not my style. I can raise the car up, but was just wondering what my options are.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the heads up on the Godspeed stuff. I hadn't researched it yet.
So bear with me on this, I'm no expert. Rear toe is set to +0"07 on both sides, but camber reads RL -2.05 & RR -1.95. I'm told toe adjustability is maxed out, forcing camber where it's at. I don't mind some negative camber for better cornering, but I'm concerned for premature tire wear.
So far my answer is raise the car? Be able to corner harder but be prepared to eat tires faster? I also found these- https://www.maperformance.com/produc...SABEgLclfD_BwE
I haven't dug into them to see if they'll do what I want, but at least they're made by some one reputable.

Never mind, MinusPrevious nailed the first problem. Fender gap to ground measurement isn't equal anywhere, so I'll start by calling them Monday & finding out what's what. I'll report back with good news or more questions.
If you report your average fender to ground dims, Ill let you know how that compares to mine. We were just suspecting that maybe youre too low & thats why the shop can not achieve the proper toe
My EvO is a bit squatty in the rear & I am at 24 7/8" / Front is at 25 3/8"
With the rear that low, that could be the reason for the toe problem
